Loud, Low and Blue? W124 Build

[Jorgen]

Imo the front fits perfectly now.

I got an update for y'all.

So I did a few things. I managed to make the front fit with no camber adjustments...but don't worry that doesn't mean I'm not running camber I just don't have my new coils and the materials to make my own camber plates yet. I managed to make these fit with a careful yet aggressive ghetto pull.



This photo doesn't do a justice to how much they poke.



Of course I had to hop the heads of my lug bolts in half first because nothings really "bolt on" on these cars. This photo is funny because my legs are exposed and my shirt is off yet I'm still wearing safety glasses, damn you Southern California for being 85 in February.



Here's a pic of me doing the ghetto pull, Yes that is the jack arm, and no I did not use a heat gun, my fenders need paint anyways )





Anddddddddd BOOM made them fit, kinda, needs more camber and more low so that's coming within the next week or so.



Here's the money shot for you guys. The poke in the front makes this thing look like a battle benz hahaha.



Until the next update erbody

[spaaals]

damn this just gets better and better

[loekaaz]

Not a fan, but for that VIP look they will probably look on point.

Good call on the grey backing tho

Little update for y'all. Got myself some new tail ice.


I absolutely love them, They string together the exact look I'm going for and they work so much better. Oh I also ditched the chromed backing and used my OEM grey ones because it looks better IMO.

BOOM Money shot



This photo drives me nuts, I can't get over how the sun shined perfectly on my fitment and it just made the photo so rad.



You can't beat them for 60$, really improved the brightness of my lights and my reverse lights work far better now

Why don't you first try the top camber plates first before you hack the FLCA's?

Or is the pic above already with them on?

I ran them on my last 190 and they gave me about -7 degrees but were hacked up like crazy and messed with my alignment like crazy. By the way I just now figured out my signature thanks to you! Step 11: Thank you lucas. I am also going to be purchasing another set of FLCA's to hack up so I don't risk my current ones.

By extending the FLCA's you WILL get bumpsteer.
But, If I'm correct, the W201 drift world has some solutions for extended FLCA's I think. Maybe you can dig into that somewhere. W201 and W124 share chassis parts for like, 65% or something, maybe more. Try Hedgehog motorsport. He has many custom chassis parts for W201 EVO's and stuff...

Here's a little early mornin pic for you guys, I was wondering if anyone could give me any insight on extending my FLCA's. I will most likely have someone do them for me but I come down to it I've got a friend with a welder and can get it done. Any idea on how much negative camber I can run without messing with ackerman up front too much? I know the rod that connects the FLCA to the rotor flex's and swivels but I don't know to what extent it does. Any info would be appreciated. I don't mind running more camber in the back than the front because I know I won't be able to or want to run -20 up front, but I would like to run around -12 to -16 up front with the help of camber plates that can do -6.

[190Evan]

need to hurry up and get those fronts on son! the rear looks fucking baller!

Thanks man! yeah I'm slacking on them, I just gotta get the cash for coilovers and I will have them on asap
